Gynecomastia: You may have gynecomastia, which is enlarged breast tissue in males. Or this could just be fat. There could be an increase of estrogen to testosterone, but hormone levels may be normal. Many drugs cause this. Adolescent boys get some gynecomastia, and in some it does not fully regress with adulthood. You should see an endocrinologist. There are some drugs, but they don't work very well.

No nonsurgical cures: Gynecomastia, if present for more than a couple of years, is usually permanent. It's caused by an imbalance of testosterone and estrogen. See my webinar on the subject on youtube - search dr. George pope. Or visit www.Gynecomastia.Org, a great forum.
